Scott Baio adamantly denies a claim that he sexually abused an underage "Charles in Charge" co-star and says she seduced him when she was 18 and legally an adult.

On Tuesday, Nicole Eggert, speaking on "Megyn Kelly Today," said Baio first molested her when she was 14, and they had sexual intercourse when she was 17. The age of consent in California is 18. Baio is more than 11 years older than Eggert.

Baio said Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America" that "false allegations" against him have "got to stop" for the sake of his wife and 10-year-old daughter.
